It was a boxing demonstration show in Los Angeles where Mike Tyson returned to the ring at the age of 54.
Before that, the 36-year-old Robinson had climbed there – a 175cm tall defender who scored 17 points for the New York Knicks a decade ago, also represented seven other NBA clubs and won basketball three times.

But in the boxing ring everything ended very badly for him.
He fought 23-year-old Jacob Paul, an American star on YouTube and other Internet channels.
Although N. Robinson tried to beat the opponent in speed, there was little defense in his moves, athleticism did not save him against the opponent who has already had fighting experience since 2018.
Already in the first round, J.Paulas sent the basketball player to the ground. Robinson raised to nine, although it was unclear if he wanted to continue the fight.
Paul soon beat a former NBA player for the second time. Somehow it got up again.
The knockout occurred less than two minutes after the second round.
Robinson fell so abruptly and with such force that he was speechless for a few minutes.
“You better not box,” advised legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, who analyzed the fight.
J.Paulas landed 8 shots of 38 (21 percent), but his three shots were worth it. N. Robinson hit 10 shots to 56 (18 percent).
“It was better than I expected,” Paul said of Robinson, paying tribute to the player for his debut in the boxing ring and talking about bigger challenges for himself, including fighting Conar McGregor in the future.
